God damn it..I can't believe that Intersect is really gone-I hoped that's some kind of mistake or what Mama B. showed to Chuck didn't really take the Intersect off! But why would she do that? Do anyone have any ideas?

2 weeks with ending like this? It's torture.. :(

give us some sneak peeks before i die a lot of skeak peeks oh and give us some parts with chuck and sarah kissing or making out i choose making out

first of all why the hell do we have to wait to weeks to see the next episode!!!!???? the world series is already basicly over!!! GO GIANTS!!

and second its so ironic that in the first and second season chuck will do anything to get the intersect out of his head and live a normal life, and now in the fourth season, he will do anything to get the intersect back so he can be a spy

But I don't think intersect is gone permanently because if that psp device can erase the intersect,why didn't Chuck's father use it in the second season.He made a new intersect to erase intersect 1.0.I believe Chuck's mum did this to avoid Chuck flash and fight with Volkoff.But I am not sure when the intersect start working again.

no, the intercect isn't gone.this toy thing that his mom give him he will make him a better and not so emotionally spy.Remember the brown eye scene in the promo,he still have flashes.

I bet MamaB has the intersect too - and the one where you dont have to flash - probably like what she just gave chuck

I think that it somehow was a intersect upgrade. That maybe his fathers intel was downloaded to his brain, though now he has to learn how to flash and reveal them?

maybe it has been upgraded again he might just need to reboot like at the end of season 3 i wounder if it has been upgraded to what it can do now.-No more flashes he just in combat mode full time.What do you think?

Stephen obviously knew that the base would eventually fall into the hands of Volkoff or Hydra, or the Triangularum, (before their defeat), so he had to store doubles somewhere. Who better to hndle it than a non-spy who had no idea what it was herself so as not to draw any attention, than Ellie?

Mary has nothing to gain by upgrading chuck's mind. The psp probably either switched the intersect off or copied it, in the process making chuck's intersect weaker. More like the one in seasons 1-2, (hopefully).

Volkoff is an arms dealer, so he'll probably use the intersect and sell it on the black market. This can easily be done, as was shown by Mnoosh in Chuck vs. the Nacho Sampler. Since MAry knows about the intersect, why wouldn't Volkoff know? IT makes perfect sense that he would. That's why Mary stole it for him before they blew up the OC. Remember, I don't care whose side you're on in this debate, but Mary IS working with Volkoff, forced or by choice, she is. She stole or copied it. Thats that. Hope Jim can find out whats wrong in the next episode.

btw Timothy Dalton is the PERFECT volkoff. I kinda guessed it when i first heard he'd be on the show, but was thrown WAY off when i saw the promo, and then the episode. His interviews were deceiving as well.

Pretty much, one way or another, the intersect 2.0 as we know it is gone, and I don't see it coming back any time soon.

I still believe that the intersect isn't gone.I think it is only stopped for a short time.That device belongs to Orion.If it deletes the intersect,Orion would use it a long time ago while erasing the intersect from Chuck's head.Also,i will give SPOİLER;Chuck,Sarah,Morgan and Casey will go to a hard mission two episode later,if Chuck can't flash on anything,why would they take him with them?

does anyone get the strange feeling that ellie might accidentally download the intersect? i hav a weird prediction but hope im wrong because as much as i love chuck i couldnt stand seeing ellie wit the int. 3.0

J

November 4, 2010 at 6:17 AM

Ellie will not download the intersect. Plot wise, it makes no sense at all, and besides, Sarah Lancaster is a good actress but she was never all that great at stunts. The laptop is probably just a backup drive as I've previously speculated.

McG originally wanted her to do an action scene somewhere down the road, and I can't remember where I saw this, but she was flustered because she thinks she's terrible at stunt acting. So intersect 3.E? Not happening.

As to the Southeast Asia mission anonymous just posted about, HELLO? anyone remember seasons 1-2? Chuck went with them on their missions all the time without doing much. He just had to "Stay in the Car." Honestly, it seems like after all this, Mom, Volkoff, Governor, Malfunctions, and Shaw stuff that people forgot what Chuck really is. Watch the first two seasons again.

Hopefully we're returning to our favorite "Vintage" Chuck.

WOW! I couldn't even imagine ellie with an intersect! My theory is that the laptop is purely a resource that orion left for chuck to use and create his OWN intersect... or something else?

Sam

November 4, 2010 at 11:08 AM

Here's my theory J, Mama B didn't take the intersect, she switched it off, because now when he tries to flash he just fizzles, so they're trying to reboot it by making him do a life-or-death flash to escape the belgian with the syringe. Makes sense? As much as I want to hear her say "Stay in the Car Chuck!" I doubt we will be hearing that from this event. 100% agree with your Papa B Backup Computer theory =) I'm a rambler too.

i have a feeling that the laptop in the car is maybe a back up intersectwhen/if ellie discovers it maybe she will have to make the hard choice to tell chuck to upload it again.

I have a feeling the p2p was some sort of virus or somthing.

Dear J,you said that Chuck went to missions in season 1 and 2 without doing too much.But as you can remember he had the intersect 1.0 at that time,and he was good at flashing about criminals and bombs.But now in this episode he lost the intersect 2.0 and he won't flash about any information and he won't do kung-fu anymore.Then there is nothing he can do now and there is no meaning to take Chuck into a mission

J

November 4, 2010 at 10:58 PM

I will answer a few of your theories all in one.

Maybe, (to Sam's), the Belgian will be in the dark and not understand what he's torturing Chuck for, and goes after Intersect info in vs. Phase Three.

I think that Sam is COMPLETELY right, but i also believe that the Belgians torture will only half work. He will get the intersect 1.0 powers back.

Yes, of course I remember that he had the intersect 1.0, and that was why he went on missions. I just had a random chuck marathon party at my place 3 days ago. I watched all of them, but most ppl went home or fell asleep after Chuck vs. the Dream Job. YES, it was the pilot thru Chuck vs. the Ring Part II.

I am a REAL chuckaholic.

And those reasons aside, the writers will find some excuse to involve chuck in whatever they want, because he has the name of the show, "CHUCK".

I just thought-it's time for me to have a Google Account. I mean it's so complicated to be "Anonymous",there're too many of them-so how can you know who you're talking with..I think now it will be more easier to discuss everything about Chuck,because I'M SUCH A BIG CHUCKAHOLIC too. I can't imagine my life without this show.

P.S. I must say,J,that I'm impressed in your knowledge about Chuck. It will be great pleasure to have discussions with you..

ALL OF YOU. See you soon..

Yeah J I am also a real "Chuckaholic",too.I watch all the three seasons for three times and that is why I am insisting that the intersect will come back soon.Also,I don't state that Chuck won't be in missions any more.The thing that I am saying is Chuck needs intersect to go missions and missions can't be without Chuck.

But we have to wait for 2 weeks to see what is really going on and 2 weeks is very very long :( Also to confess I love Chuck's clumsy,stay in the car behaviors,too.He is more like us in that episodes

i noticed that a few people are guessing that the laptop is a intersect of somekind

but as we know orion was not just called orion he was known as many other names maybe he has other bases and the laptop will lead to themim sure that daddy b would have made a back up base or 2

what you think?

Also if the intersect at the moment is not working will he still need to ware the Governor?

I think that the PSP must be some sort of upgrade. Before exposing Chuck, Mary B said "your father did not want you to have this" - therefore it must be an improved or upgraded intersect or most likely a patch to Intersect 2 to update it with the info destroyed by Volkoff - but then what do I know???.

J
on
November 6, 2010 at 5:37 AM

I also have no idea how to decipher Mary's mysterious words. I think it best to just forget about that, because there is much other details to talk about.

e.g. - yes, Orion very well may have had other bases, but honestly, you saw how big the OC was. I think that since it was underneath his freakin house, that it was his main base. He might have minor outposts or something....

OOOOHHHHH!!

This is so awesome, it just came to me! Remember where we first saw Orion? Singapore right?

SINGAPORE IS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA!

J is putting the puzzle together!

I think maybe the Belgian won't be able to fix Chuck, but then he finds something, a clue, that leads him to the OP. (Orion-post). Maybe that's where a clue will be that will lead chuck on a long global hunt for the other OP's. This will be funny to us because it'll probably all lead back to the laptop under the car seat.

AGAIN just a theory.

heh-heh, uniya, thx for your concern. Still having technical difficulties. It keeps saying I'm typing in the WORD VERIFICATION wrong when i use Gmail, but otherwise they tell me I'm doing it right. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Thx again. 'preciate it.

now as to VDM ideas. (sigh).

1) i don't understand what you mean by this one. Please explain, however by my interpretation of what I think you mean, it wouldn't work.

2a) This one is plausible. VERY. It makes perfect sense. Volkoff copies the intersect and it lies in chuck's brain switched off and useless, and chuck has to use his knowledge of his father to go and find clues as to how to get t back, but the refresh ends up being on the laptop.

2b) It's....just...wrong....No. Just no.

It honestly just makes no sense.

Sorry if that was too mean.

2(it's supposed to be C, right?)) I suppose this one works, but it sound too much like the ridiculous hassel of iTunes if you ask me. lol. The glasses in season 2 were clearly a refresh of the intersect. They are in the place of your 2C.

Having said that, you know what'd be cool, Having a Transformers: RotF situation, where chuck's brain isn't deteriorating, (thanks to the governor), but instead becomes overloaded, and he starts randomly spouting government secrets. He goes crazy, and they have to put him in an insane asylum, (not like the one in "vs. theTooth"), but like a sponge room.

There's a catch tho. He has a roommate.

It's Laszlo. And he's pissed!

Huh? what do you think?

Well there are all really good points... and also a very good theory on the singapore thing.

However, I believe chuck's brain was deteriorating because of the abundance of knowledge in his head... and it was beginning to overload.

And one more thing...i don't find the lazlo + mental asylum very plausible.

I can't believe that some of you can't wait to hear sarah say "stay in the car" ???Don't you get it? Chuck maybe Comedy...BUT IT'S NO SITCOM. There is, has been and will always be a developement going on. I loved the first Season Chuck, but only as a step towards the Chuck he is now. Even without the intersect, Chuck is not the Chuck anymore that stays in a car. If you're not able to see the amazing job, the writers have done and really want bad copies of Season 1 Episodes, then maybe that show is too complex for you. Go, watch sitcoms, child

Yes, I agree, there always will be chuck devopment, and yes he has changed. Great points. And once again I still enjoy chuck, but me and most of the other ppl on this webpage agree, WE WANT OLD CHUCK. Even if its only for an episode or too.

As for the last anonymous who posted,

f@$# you.

I don't know how much more blunt you can possibly be.

You basically openly insulted all of our opinions. We all know this isn't a sitcom, we know that the writer's are fantastic, they have done an incredible job in keeping the humor and talent stable throughout the shows progression. Their spy stories are "AWESOME", and I find myself still rooting for chuck and sarah.

I respect them fabulously, but I guess I'm a little nostalgic, is there anything wrong with that?

I feel the past slipping away and all I want is a glimpse of it.

Saying that we want to hear Sarah say "Stay in the Car", is just symbolism for the fact that we want the glory days of chuck to return for a little. Signs show that this is gonna happen, because the intersect ain't working.

You say that you can't believe that we want to hear sarah say "Stay in the Car"? BELIEVE IT BUDDY.

If you're going to continue to insult us like this, get off of the webpage you jerk!

And by the way, watch your mouth the next time you type, before you hurt someone's feelings. I'm just a little pissed about what you said, but someone else might go overboard.

We understand this show plenty, so shut your mouth and go away!

I said that I love Chuck's clumsy,stay in the car behaviors and it can be a good nostalgia if he is like that again for one or two episodes.But I don't say that I always want Chuck that way.I was a little misunderstood.He was cute and sweet in that episodes.But I agree that if we put Chuck with that behavior in all new episodes,he won't fit in and the episodes will repeat themselves.To me,I love new Chuck very much.He is skillful and the series become more exciting and full of adventure.And as I mention before I really believe that intersect isn't gone and I believe Mama B is a good mother and do no harm to Chuck.

I agree with Penelope and Dennis. We love Chuck for who he is as a person. And of course he was incredibly smart in the beginning with his computer skills so logically as he is trained and growing up in the spy world he is going to become great at that too. He is still his funny silly self with his comments and expressions and most importantly he is still the guy we all fell in love with along with Sarah

@ J

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult you and neither did I wanna hurt your or anybody else's feelings. You say, that you're just a little pissed, but your post reads like you're completely outraged. Sorry - but I can hardly figure how I did this. I only expressed how I feel about the show. And yes - I do care a lot about it. But at the end of the day - It's just a show ..and... as much as it may mean to some of us - we shouldn't be taking this to a personal level.

I might have been the one who startet insulting people and for that, i feel really sorry. But unlinke you, i didn't insult someone directly or as a person. I only criticized an oppinion ... and more important - not particularly yours. You, however, called me a jerk.

Sorry dude, but you just got me wrong. I really got respect for Chuck Fans who just want a little nostalgia.I did not mean to criticize you! I meant to criticize those people who watch chuck just like a random sitcom. There is like a million people out there who watch like only every third episode. And it's been exactly those people I've criticized, because those are the kind of guys who can't deal with developing characters.

I don't live in the US (I'm German - so sorry for any bad English, and screw you if you think it's funny to call me a Nazi) and I've never seen chuck on TV. I always have to find a way to get it via internet (and no, we can't watch it on NBC.Com from here) - so I really have to care for the show actively. Maybe that's what got me pissed. sorry @all!

Ok;

Anonymous, I am sorry. You came across as insulting us And not those ppl who don't watch it religiously like us. In that case I applaud you, I wish those ppl watched our show more. We still can't be too hard on them, but if they think that "24", "House", or "Bones", are better shows...tsk, tsk, tsk.

Shame on them.

Anyway, it turns out that I came across outraged. firstly, I wasn't really that mad, but I don't like it when ppl tell me I'm not a true fan, which is what I gathered from your first comment.

I didn't really take your comments as an attack on me, moreso an attack on chuck fans, at the time, I thought I was defending "us". I was wrong in what I said and for that I'm also sorry.

Looking straight after this.

So, 2 things.

1) do you think my transformers/ return of Laszlo thin would work?

2) I can understand the whole, "no NBC.com" hint in Germany, but why can't you watch it on hulu, or watch it on tv? And that aside, how do you watch it then anyway, cause you seem to be pretty up to date?

Hello J and Yeti,

it's me again. My direct connection to Chuck is Serienjunkies.org (a german website). Unfortunately it has become worse, but I've found a new method (www.filterskip.com). Hulu, NBC, Youtube etc. don't work here in Europe. Our local TV Stations have Chuck blocked on this sites until the show has aired here.Unfortunately, Chuck Season 4 won't be on German television before 2012 and even then, they won't show the original version, but a badly dubbed one

Wow, you Greeks are something else. So, interesting news anonymous, I never thought of LIVE streams before.I hope NBC.com starts working in your country, It's a great source for chuck info.

I am quite happy that Chuck is touching people from other countries. I am in Ohio, and had no idea my beloved show had that impact on Europeans, such as yourselves. Germany and Greece are cool, but some ppl just astound me. somebody on here is from The former Yugoslavia, (one of my favorite countries to study), and someone else is from Latvia. LATVIA!!! Thats awesome! Hey just wondering Uniya, is it cold up there at all, 'cause I know you're right by Russia.....

Anywho!

I myself, (a bit different then you all), enjoy a might of suspense. I like, nay, LOVE to be held hanging, a huge open ending leaving me gasping for more. I like what they did, And I respect that former president Bush is speaking with Matt Lauer. However, myself being an enormous Chuckaholic, I NEED MY NEW CHUCK! So, having said that, I think NBC should make and online web series based on the Buymore, kinda like season 2, only this one is continuous.

So that way, on a dreadful monday night where there happens to be no Chuck, NBC could air like, 5 of em to fill the gap left in our hearts and souls, at eight on the web, so we could be content and I could still have my suspense factor.

ελένη εγώ άρχισα να το βλέπω από το καλοκαίρι !!!δυστυχώς δεν είχα πάρει χαμπάρι οτι υπήρχε τέτοια τέλεια σειρά πιο πριν !!!τώρα όμως έχω κολλήσει !!greece loves chuck !!yeah j i think you are right !!it is outstanding to know there are people from all over the world with the same interests and preferences like you and in our case that they found the chance to discuss about them !!!
